Iím also getting database errors each time I am making a post, though the posts seem to show up nonetheless. It appears the database is beginning to get corrupted again; potentially it is only a matter of time before the site goes down again.

Within each forum the latest updates are not in the description (again). When an older reference is clicked, the latest items are there.

You mean that new posts are not being shown up properly?

We are at the mercy of the technical team (whoever they are).

Apparently it is a tricky job keeping an old database like this running smoothly and bugs that get fixed seem to pop up again.

The owner of the site must be happy with this state of affairs, at least he has said nothing to contradict that.

I think you are living in something of a fantasy world when you speak of a "technical team". My guess is there is no one at all, except maybe some bloke who scratches his head a tries a reboot every 18months or so.

This forum is on its last legs. Seems most of the usual suspects are on the .org site. Maybe I should migrate to that one, too. But I admit I'll miss the refreshingly eccentric moderating style of Dywyddyr. So I won't give up on this forum until it finally croaks.

I've tried to sign up several times and failed, and messages to the admin are ignored, so have re-registered as a sock puppet of my original username which shall remain a deep mystery. As a (not) new member, it's rather difficult to work out what, if anything, is happening here.

I have spent a lot of time trying to puzzle out who is in charge ** and report bugs when things go wrong(er) even though there is no acknowledgement of the report.

He does/did have a contact address in Manchester which is just one of those forwarding addresses but since I am not going to buy out the domain there is no point in trying it out to see if there is anyone at the other end.

**searching the owner's name and even trying to contact him through various Linkdin accounts when I thought I had found a profile that matched the name . But without success.
